May Mayhem


Here are our offerings for May... why not join us? If you have a suggestion, please let us know and we will add it to the list.


May 3rd Jewellery Making with Luisa Heaton Following a recent successful ‘taster Jewellery making Session’  at her house attended by some of the Committee members, Lui is offering you a chance to learn to make some jewellery yourselves. The session will be from 10am to around 1pm. Tea, coffee and lunch will be provided, so will all the tools, beads, findings, etc. for the session which will cost £20. She will talk about the many jewellery making methods, will have samples of most if not all - and you  will use 2 of the methods in the necklace you will make. She only has room for 6 persons on the day, please let her know asap if you would like to attend. RSVP Luisa Heaton to book a place and for directions to her house.

May 9th Book Club (new!) Many members have asked us to revive the book club, so the current plan is to meet every six weeks at 8pm at the Cheshire Cat. We intend to meet up on a Monday - a quiet evening there by their own admission, so there should be a quiet corner for us - although, in good tradition,  we start with an exception to the rule, as the first meeting is set on Thursday, 9 May at 8 pm.  We picked 8 pm, to give any people, who want to have a bite before we begin, time to do so.We will discuss the book "Stranger in My Life" by Janet Holt. This is a very interesting autobiography, and recommended by Debra, so it should be a good read. You can get it from Amazon as a printed book or as downloadable version to read on your computer. Let Renee know if you intend to be there, we look forward to a good crowd, bring spouses, friends, anyone who might be interested!.

May 11th Walk and Pub Lunch The days are finally getting warmer, so it is time to dust off your walking boots/wellingtons and blow off the cobwebs! We will meet at the Glasfryn in Mold (please park in the upper right hand corner of the parking lot), then carpool to Halkyn Mountain for a three-hour walk. This is a remarkable upland limestone plateau situated between the Clwydian Hills and the Dee Estuary in North Flintshire. It runs roughly parallel with the Dee estuary and overlooks the towns of Holywell and Flint. After this breathtaking scenery we will need to replenish ourselves, so we will return to the Glasfryn for a well-deserved lunch. If you don't fancy the walk, just meet us at the Glasfryn for lunch at 1:30pm. If the weather is too horrendous for a walk, we will still meet for lunch. RSVP Lynda Busler so we know how large a table to book.
(Please note: this is the rescheduled walk that was abandoned due to the March snowstorm - let's hope nothing stops us this time!)
